"Why is this page here instead of my email?"Many CharlesWorks clients start out with email attached to their domain name before placing a website online. In that case, rather than generating an error when one accidentally types in the domain name with no website attached to it, this page comes up. by doing this, we can help to instigate traffic to the domain. If there is a blank page rendered (no words or text on the page for the search engines to read) or the domain is simply not resolvable (meaning it does not know where to go to display a web page), it may take longer for traffic to pick up at your website once you do get your content there. Some registrars put what they refer to as "related ads" on their parked domain pages. What this really means is that options are presented to visit sites that the registrar's software deems pertinent to what the web surfer was looking for. In a nutshell, this means visitors to your domain are sent to your competitors. In the long term, having this page displayed here helps us to keep your costs down.

"Why PARK your domain name?"Parking can help to instigate traffic to the domain. If there is a blank page rendered (no words or text on the page for the search engines to read) or the domain is simply not resolvable (meaning it does not know where to go to display a web page), it may take longer for traffic to pick up at your website once you do get your content there.

What this really means is that options are presented to visit sites that the registrar's software deems pertinent to what the web surfer was looking for. In a nutshell, this means visitors to your domain are sent to your competitors. At CharlesWorks we do not do that. There is merely content here concerning CharlesWorks and our clients.

"Why isn't my website showing up here?"If you recently purchased your domain name and have pointed it correctly to this server, then it may not be completely set up yet. In addition to having your domain point to the correct server through DNS, the web space has to be set up on the server to accept a connection to it. If you believe this should already have taken place then please call or email your contact at CharlesWorks and we will take care of it as soon as possible.
